What is the cause of pituitary tumor

What is the cause of pituitary tumor? Although pituitary tumor is a benign tumor, it will cause great harm to the body if it is not treated in time, and often affects the patient's growth and development, reproductive function, learning and work ability. If we want to stay away from this disease, we need to understand the cause of it so that we can prevent it fundamentally. So, what is the cause of pituitary tumor?

1. Endocrine disorders:

Pituitary tumors with secretory functions secrete hyperhormone, causing an increase in the patient's PRL, GH, ACTH, TSH and other hormones, thereby causing menstrual disorders, lactation, miscarriage, infertility, sexual dysfunction, obesity, ugly face, gigantism, enlarged hands and feet, increased hair, rough skin, etc.; those with hypopituitarism will show fatigue, fear of cold, etc.

2. Metabolic disorders:

Blood potassium, sodium, chloride, and calcium decrease, weakness, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal distension, multiple spontaneous fractures of ribs and vertebrae are common. Low immune function: easy to catch colds and cancer. Psychological pressure. Pituitary tumors can occur at any age, but they are more common in young and middle-aged people. Because pituitary tumors have serious damage to human growth, development, physical and mental health, fertility, and multi-organ functions, people with pituitary tumors should actively seek early treatment.

3. Damage to the structures surrounding the tumor:

As the tumor grows larger, it invades and compresses important surrounding structures, such as the optic nerve, cavernous sinus, basilar cerebral artery, hypothalamus, third ventricle, brain stem, etc., leading to corresponding functional disorders manifested as decreased vision, visual field defects, hemiplegia, fixed eyeballs, diplopia, intellectual and memory disorders, mental changes, headaches, hydrocephalus, etc.

Everyone should have healthy living habits in life and stay away from the above causes, so that the possibility of suffering from pituitary tumors will be very low. At the same time, all pituitary tumor patients must take measures to protect their bodies so as not to suffer great pain.
